Just when a certain decisive and decisive lady Yunmeng was being coaxed by her younger junior sister into chewing peaches with a straight face.

Outside Sanhui Courtyard.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Xie Xun suddenly stopped and signaled his disciples to wait for him at Master Shandao's place.

The disciples took the order and left.

Xie Xun glanced at Xie Lingjiang who was following behind, then turned and walked into a resting pavilion on the side of the road.

Xie Lingjiang paused and followed silently.

The father and daughter walked into the pavilion.

The background behind the two of them happened to be the Sanhui Temple where a young county magistrate was in a coma and recovering from illness.

They looked at each other speechlessly.

Xie Xun was the first to break the silence: "The hat has been taken off."

Xie Lingjiang shook his head.

Xie Xun looked at her with his hands behind his back.

Xie Lingjiang, who was wearing a plain skirt, took off a white gauze hat and turned her head to look at the architectural scenery outside the pavilion, avoiding her father's sight.

But the pretty face she showed was a bit surprising.

She has a plain face, no eyebrows or eyebrows, and her hair is messy. Her usual pair of beautiful and beautiful eyes have deep dark circles. If you look closely, you can see that there are still some bloodshot eyes.

He looked haggard, as if he had been sleepless for many days and had to wake up early in the morning.

However, even if the beauty is haggard, she still has a unique style of "the clothes are getting wider and she will never regret it".

It's just that this kind of weak and sad style that attracts the affection of men obviously does not fit the strong temperament of Xie Ling Jiang Aojiao.

Under Xie Xun's interrogating gaze, Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips into a red line, held the waist sword in his hand, placed it on his knees, straightened his waist, and sat in the pavilion, gazing at the scenery.

Just like a wintersweet that is about to wither and wither but still strives to stand proudly on its branches.

An old father looked at his daughter.

"Talk to your father."

"say what?"

"Why do you look like this?"

"Senior Brother was seriously injured because of me. He has been taking care of me day and night recently. I am just a little tired. When Senior Brother wakes up, I can rest for a few more days and it will be fine."

"only this?"

"if not?"

"Oh, it turns out that Huanwan cares about Lianghan now." This is a declarative sentence.

"Father, what are you talking about?" Xie Lingjiang's tone became higher and he stared seriously as he said:

"He...he is a senior brother. He has taught me a lot these days and has taken great care of me. The most important thing is that he was seriously injured trying to save me. How...how can my daughter not care about him?"

The noble lady of the Xie family sounded a little excited.

Xie Xun remained silent, just looking at her calmly.

It seems to be asking... I just mentioned being a father, but it doesn't mean that I shouldn't care about it. Why are you so excited?

For a time, there was stillness and movement, and the emotions of father and daughter formed a sharp contrast.

Under his father's calm gaze, Xie Lingjiang suddenly became short of breath, lowered his eyes, and spoke in a slightly weaker tone:

"Sorry, I just misunderstood what father meant."

"No." Xie Xun shook his head: "My father misunderstood before."

Xie Lingjiang looked puzzled.

Xie Xun turned to look down the mountain and sighed with emotion: "So, during these days in Longcheng, you have changed your mind? Now you want to... marry your beloved?"

The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly fell into silence.

Xie Lingjiang lowered his head and buried his head deep in his chest. His haggard and pale face was visibly flushed, and the blush reached to the roots of his ears.

There is no trace of the harshness he had when biting his lip to criticize his old father.

Seeing this, Xie Xun opened his mouth and swallowed the words for a while.

In fact, he has never seen his daughter, who has always been strong, look so embarrassed since she was a child.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

You can't just start the training by nagging,

What are you talking about? I helped you with the matchmaking and everything was settled. I also gave you my father’s opinions and recommendations. As long as you nodded, you immediately took down Lianghan. As a result, you shook your head quickly and swore that you would not regret it.

As a result, he is now looking for his old father again? As a teacher, where should he put his old face in front of his beloved disciple?

If her mother were still alive, given her character, she might have swore like this and would have poked her forehead with her index finger.

Xie Xun shook his head feebly.

This middle-aged Confucian scholar, who was always serious and reserved, raised his hand and took off his hat, and rarely scratched his head.

"well."

Sighing silently.

Xie Lingjiang didn't dare to speak.

The atmosphere between father and daughter gradually fell into dead silence.

The awkward atmosphere spread.

Xie Xun sighed and said, "The most urgent task now is to find a way to revive Liang Han as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes!" Xie Lingjiang's head nodded as fast as pounding garlic. The awkward atmosphere was broken. She breathed a sigh of relief, her pretty face lost in thought.

"As for other things... wait until Lianghan recovers from his injury and stay a little longer for his father..."

"Father..." Xie Lingjiang sniffed, his tone slightly sobbing.

Xie Xun shook his head, thought of something, and suddenly asked: "You haven't said yet, who is that girl from Lianghan?"

Xie Lingjiang whispered: "Child bride, former child bride."

Xie Xun frowned.

Xie Lingjiang also frowned and thought: "Actually, senior brother doesn't seem to know her existence. Some changes happened many years ago. Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhen sold her, but she still remembers her kindness..."

"is that so."

Xie Xun stroked his beard and asked calmly: "Is the cold-faced woman who was full of sword energy in the room just now the Yue girl from Yunmeng Jianze next door? Is she a female monarch?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded and said truthfully: "She is the first empress in the palace of empresses, the candle in the snow."

Xie Xun's hand stroking his beard paused and he said blankly: "She is the candle in the snow? Then what is the name of this mute daughter-in-law, Qingxiu? She is..."

"Yes, she is none other than Zhao Qingxiu, the most outstanding virgin of the Nujun Palace generation."

Xie Xun almost tore off his beard and stared at Sanhuiyuan in the distance.

Xie Lingjiang lowered her head and whispered as if she had made a mistake. At this time, she raised her head slightly, glanced at her father who had a wonderful expression, and murmured:

"Didn't my father often mention my daughter when she was learning Qigong in the academy? Other people's children are better now and have met real people."

"Tiguiti, but how can she be a mute woman, and also..." Xie Xun hesitated, and his voice became smaller: "She still has this kind of relationship with Lianghan..."

Xie Lingjiang smiled bitterly: "When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it."

Xie Xun was quiet for a while before he finished digesting the news.

He turned his head and looked at his haggard daughter with dark circles in his eyes and the white gauze hat in her hand with complicated eyes.

I kind of understand Xie Lingjiang's state these days.

Xie Xun began to regret. In the past, he should not have used "other people's children" to suppress his daughter's pride. Now that it is better, it has really become a psychological shadow.

I was lost in thought and recalled the virtuous and capable appearance of the unassuming virgin in Sanhuiyuan just now.

Xie Xun couldn't help but ask: "You said she was Liang Han's former child bride, so she came back now just to save Liang Han. Does she have any other meaning..."

Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "I don't know."

Xie Xun had a headache when he suddenly heard his daughter say:

"Actually, she's quite nice."

Xie Lingjiang was distracted and muttered: "She has a really good personality. I have discovered these days that I have to learn from her. Father, what you said before is actually correct. The pretty girl is very outstanding..."

Xie Xun glanced at her and nodded: "So you think Lianghan will also like this girl?"

"Who said that!"

Xie Lingjiang raised his head fiercely, his aura suddenly changed. He bit his lip and raised his head: "She... whatever she can do for the senior brother, I can do for the senior brother. Whatever I have, I will give it to him. If she can't, I...

…I can learn it too…”
